I was in the same boat. After 36 years heavy construction as a service oiler my knees and back were telling me to get something different. We had a 2003 32' Alpenlite 5er and an 06 Ford CC 4x4. In the 10 years we had the 5er I put on one set of tires, 2 sets of batteries and a flat screen TV. Kind of EZ on the pocket book.
Now with my Country Coach air leveling, if it's raining no problem put the slide out and start the gem-set. But when it come to upkeep $4200.00 for tires, RR frig, reseal window, getting car setup to tow. My pocket book is a lot thinner but I like it (happy wife happy life). It cost a lot more to run a MH than a truck and TT.
